about

The guitar work of Simon Martinez, the pride of Philly, and the performance of Steve McKie are extremely noteworthy.

lyrics

Some say, I like it the hard way
But I’ll say, I never had it easy... no, no Life plays, the way you show it to
So I’ll sing, to find love in the truth
Who knew to find you, I had to go out and see the world Who can I run to if I can’t love what’s in the mirror
So many lifetimes, lifestyles, can’t put it in words
But I feel what I feel, and that’s my main concern
Tell me when did you know Tell me where could we go It is so beautiful
To just pack up and be
Up and away with ya
Send me up, send me up, up and away with ya Send me up, send me up, up and away with ya
You shine, like the springtime
You’re in full bloom, how you consume
Every thought I share, it never can compare When we fade away, every time you save the day
Who knew to find you, I had to go out and see the world Who can I run to if I can’t love what’s in the mirror
So many lifetimes, lifestyles can’t put it in words
But I feel what I feel and that’s my main concern
Tell me when did you know, tell me where could we go
It is so beautiful to just pack up and be up and away with ya Send me up, send me up, up and away with ya
Send me up, send me up, up and away with ya
Send me up, send me up, up and away with ya
Send me up, send me up, up and away with ya
Baby won’t you send me, send me up Baby won’t you send me, send me up Baby won’t you send me, send me up Baby won’t you send me, send me up
